Man United ‘Under Pressure’ By Aston Villa And West Ham As They Battle To Sign Real Madrid Superstar

BACK Dylan Oakley Nov 3rd 2025 Man United are reportedly under pressure from Aston Villa, as both teams want to sign the same Real Madrid player.  The Red Devils’ three-game winning streak was halted over the weekend, as they drew 2-2 to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. However, Ruben Amorim will still be delighted with how his team are playing, as they are now just one point off the top four in the Premier League. It certainly feels like a great chance for United to capitalise on other teams’ struggles this season and get themselves back into the Champions League, which could help them massively in terms of finances moving forward. If they are to make a push in the second half of the season, they will be keen to add some more talent in January. One player they’ve been linked with is Real Madrid attacker Endrick, who has spent most of the season on the bench so far, however, they could face some serious competition to sign the Brazilian wonderkid. Aston Villa set to compete with Man United for Endrick Previously, Man United and West Ham had been the two English clubs that have been linked to Endrick, however, it now seems that they have been joined by Aston Villa. According to the Daily Star, Villa are keen on the 19-year-old, who could leave Madrid this winter in search of more game time. It is understood that he is not for sale, but could be willing to complete a loan move until the end of the season. There is no doubting his talent, and so, it really isn’t a surprise to see several Premier League clubs keen on the striker. Man United won’t be able to offer European football like Villa, but they still have the biggest reputation of the three interested clubs, and the lure of playing at Old Trafford in the iconic Red and Black. So far this season, Endrick has made just one appearance under new manager Xabi Alonso, stark contract to last year, when he made 37 appearances under Carlo Ancelotti, scoring seven goals, and providing one assist.
